Museum Archive: Johnson Silver Minnow (1950s) №1110, 1/4oz silver fishing spoon #18837

A silver-plated finish defines this 1/4oz (7g) weedless spoon, a centerpiece of American fishing history from the 1950s. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this Johnson Silver Minnow №1110 (product code 18837) arrived from the USA in its original orange box, which designates it specifically "For Spinning." The spoon's surface is free of any use, earning a condition rating of 6 as an unused specimen. On the reverse of the packaging, the manufacturer notes that these spoons are plated with pure silver to maintain visibility for game fishing in both fresh and salt water. The integrated wire weed guard is a technical feature of this model, designed to help the lure navigate heavy cover. This particular silver version represents the classic "America's Favorite Spoon" configuration.
